"Southtown Girls" lyrics - THE HOLD STEADY

[Refrain 4x:]
Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay

Take Lyndale to the horizon
Take Nicollet out to the ocean
Take Penn Ave out to the 494
Meet me right in front of the fabric store
Don't look me in the eye, look over at the theater
I'm a little bit surprised, you didn't tell me there'd be three of you
Hey Bloomington, what'd you let them do to you?
Now I think they're almost through with you

[Refrain 2x]

Take Lyndale back to the southside
Take Nicollet up to the Vietnamese
Take Penn Ave up to the northside
Take Lowry East to the quarry
Meet me right in front of the Rainbow Foods
I got a brown paper bag and black buckled shoes
And if anything seems weird, then just cruise
Meet me right in front of the Party City
That two-sided tape it gets way too sticky
I got a bad case of noisemaker blues

[Refrain 4x]
